Meaning & Analysis

This Invasion Kit is notable within Invader’s production. Not only is this one of his first, being only the ninth Invasion Kit the artist released, but it also directly quotes one of Invader’s most interesting projects, his 2008 Invaded Bridge in Vienna. After invading the Austrian capital in 2006 with 52 Space Invaders, in 2008 the artist returned to the city to collaborate with curator Sebastian Schager on a permanent installation for the Museums Quartier in Vienna. In the project, the artist ‘invaded’ the bridge between Breitestrasse and Museums Quartier with his iconic Space Invader, here faithfully transposed in the Invasion Kit.

Regarding the project, the curator claimed the installation was meant to give visibility to Street Art and local and international street artists, juxtaposing Invader’s work to that of Lois Weinberger.

Almost psychedelic in its outlook, this Invasion Kit meticulously attests to Invader’s steady rise to prominence on the international art scene, contributing to the dissemination of Invader’s imagery and ideas.

  • Anonymous street artist Invader adopted his pseudonym from the 1978 arcade game, Space Invaders, and has continually paid homage to retro, 8-bit video games throughout his career. His work has evolved from the original Space Invader motif since the early 2000s, with other icons such as Pac-Man, Pink Panther and even the Rubik’s Cube becoming staples in his imagery. Invading urban landscapes with his distinctive pixelated mosaic creations, Invader transcends the boundaries of traditional street art by combining playful nostalgia with an urban twist. His unique fusion of retro aesthetics and contemporary commentary has solidified his place in the global art scene.
